The last october-november 2010 I was really happy to be called to give my contribute of a new Gallery for Pirats “La Criee Art Gallery”, SAS La Rochelle with a permanent installation outside in the walls and water, roof, ect.
So when I work on a new installation, my usual procedure is, if possible, to adapt to the situation that I find on the site. I think it is important that the artist try to find a form of dialogue, where possible, with the site, its present activities, etc.. trying to maintain my style and my intrinsic message that I want to give, to tell, at the time with my installation. Here is exactly what happened, and for the friendship and above all respect I feel for the work and the great contribution they give to the art making in the virtual worlds of Second Life, Nathalie Gobé (merlina.rokocoko) and Jean-Marc Larroque (Newbab Zsigmond) with the Pirats staff. I have been pleased and honored to leave my little sign and contribution art.

The installation tells a story to which I always keep a lot, because it is deeply tied to the meaning and the birth of my men, particularly blacks and red. There is a starting point and an ending, the story of a conquest or rather the moment when men blacks are trying to conquer the man of Fire, power, the red giant at the top of the In this case the roof, the most high part of the building.
The scene consists of many sculptures men located so as to give just the idea of action in motion, with their apparent reproduction is always the same but in various differents positions and sometimes even of different sizes. The study of the various points of view is always very important to me, and therefore the overall effect of the resulting benefit, as the final result on the observer. So to give some examples, the red man who represents the power of Fire, located at the top that is imposed on the observer is below, above it, and this effect I have emphasized my blacks shrinking slightly closer to the Red. This has created a technical problem that prompted me not to use the sculpt and to replace men made of simple prims, well with small and simple prims, numerically more heavy for the final bill, but much more stable and precise for correct viewing.

Otherwise, another point of view by the water, should give the idea of moving and confused crowd, a mass, a silent and stealthy army in the night is the best time to attack the stronghold of man’s power of Fire Red . In this case, I paid much attention to the position of every black man, trying to make the outlook is seen from the water front, almost seemingly confused, to multiply and maximize the effect of a mass movement, an army of men ant in the perpetual motion of the instantaneous photograph in three-dimensional sculpture.

Finally, the genesis of action in this case is in the water, which is dear to me, it is ideal to set against the end with the opposite and complementary element of fire. The general idea that early attention is that of propagating random and natural, where you can sense a movement, asymmetrical, natural, remember that the manual is the man who seemingly chaotic and random nature of that in my philosophical view is contrary to what appears a Cosmos in the Chaos.

The Art Kahos in Pirats, is an experiment of shared art creativity into virtual worlds, a selection of 10 artists, differents each year, try to find a deal and to comunicate only with prims, colors, sounds, without talking eachother in one month. The result is not sure and always intersting, probably it is a mirror of our contemporary soceity feelings. Here follow all details on this art project.

Note to artist The time to unveil the theme of work for Art Kahos has now arrived. You have to make your sculpture on the theme : The H-bomb and the balance (ecological, political …) Music to accompany the work is: Child in Time of Deep Purple, it will be posted on the workplace for the duration of the work in progress.

For this 2nd edition, which begins on 1 April 2011, the artistic sponsor is Kristine Schomaker, Gracie Kendal in SL, and Art Kahos is hosted by l’Ecole Sl, that also provides the counters. Each artist must use exactly 400 prims. Each artist will use about 100 prims per week, a counter will be in place so that everyone can follow the change in the workplace. The sponsor and the organizers will ensure the smooth progress of the sculpture. Artists should not communicate with each other on the final result. It is not a collective. But the result is a unique work together. Each artist will have to adapt to the work of others in any way he can’t undo the work of another artist. At the end of each working session of the artist, it should remain as permanent prims that can not be modified or removed during a subsequent session. The artist must be the creator of the prims and all elements that arise, they must be original, and does not come from a previous creation.
